I've started reading eBooks in 2000 on early PocketPCs.
Back then, I very often have been reading for 6+ hours.
Usually at night, when the backlit came in handy.
In 2005 (newly wed) I've stopped for a few years.
In 2007, I wanted to read more again.
I didn't find any interesting PDAs anymore.
I hate display quality of BlackBerry.
I've got an iPhone in 2007 and I'm fine with reading on it.
But I wanted to have something bigger.
Screen size really was my main criteria.
I ended up on mobileread and chose iRex iLiad.
I like eInk and I don't have any problems with its limited functionality.
I don't need color or faster refresh rates.
Since 2007, I'm checking out more or less all the file formats and different concepts (small display, big display, with touchscreen, without touchscreen, ...).
I find experimenting with a new gadget at least as much fun as later on actually using that gadget.
I love Sony 900, iRex 800 and Kindle 2. But I'll use iPad without hesitation as well. iPad will be good enough to read and it will be fun to check out the additional functionality. But I'll go for Que as well...
